Bird and swine flu ?super-lab? at St Pancras site

A maximum security laboratory next to St Pancras station will be at the front line of Britain's fight against the next flu pandemic.

The ?600 million ?super lab? will be one of the largest in Europe and employ 1,250 scientists, many of whom will work in a bunker to prevent the spread of airborne disease.

The UK Centre for Medical Research and Innovation, the body behind the Somers Town building, claims the site will be totally secure with no risk of virus particles escaping into nearby homes.

When I hear officials declare zero risk of anything I have these terrible flash backs to earlier days of BSE. The sight of UK politicians feeding their children burgers for the cameras while assuring the public that it was 100% safe with no risk that this bovine disease could cross to humans.
This seems a very strange choice of site. It is on a horrendously expensive bit of real estate which is a nightmare for employees to commute to and St Pancras is the high speed rail link to the rest of Europe making it the perfect location for a deliberate release. A nice quite out of town site would be much cheaper, easier to secure, nicer to work at and less of a crazies magnet.

Oh, and not saying it was 100% safe might lead the public to believe those planning for its security had at least a basic understanding of risk assessment.
